Professor Miller examines in detail the constitutional applications of Aristotle's theory, including the correct constitutions
of kingship, aristocracy, and polity (based in the common advantage), and the deviant constitutions of democracy, oligarchy,
and tyranny (based in the advantage of the rulers). Aristotle's treatments of revolution and property rights are also covered,
and the major presuppositions of his political theory are critically examined and related to contemporary issues including
the liberalism-communitarianism debate. This stimulating treatment of the Politics sheds new light on Aristotle's relation
to modern political philosophy, in particular to natural rights theorists such as Hobbes and Locke. It will be of value to
philosophers, political scientists, classical scholars, and anyone interested in the theoretical foundations of human rights

The essays in this volume, first published in 2000, explore questions about democracy that are relevant to political philosophy
and political theory. Some essays discuss the appropriate ends of government or examine the difficulties involved in determining
and carrying out the will of the people. Some address questions relating to the kinds of influence citizens can or should
have over their representatives, asking, for example, whether individuals have a duty to vote, or whether inequalities in
political influence among citizens (measured in terms of campaign contributions) can be morally justified. Other essays analyze
democratic institutions, discussing what role deliberation should play in the democratic process, and asking whether it is
legitimate to use laws and public policies to express approval or disapproval of various kinds of conduct. Still others examine
the relationship between democracy and value pluralism, or consider the suitability of democracy as a form of government in
non-Western societies

""In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men," James Madison wrote, "the great difficulty lies in
this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself."1 The
task of a constitution is to solve this difficulty by setting out the structure of the government and establishing its powers
and limits. But how extensive should those powers be, and where should their limits lie? What are the legitimate functions
of government, and what is their proper justification? Should a nation's constitution aim at securing the general welfare
of its citizens, and, if so, how is the general welfare to be defined? What protections should a constitution afford to individual
rights, and how should these rights be specified? The essays in this volume--written by prominent philosophers, political
scientists, and legal scholars--address these questions and explore related issues. Some essays examine the basic purposes
of constitutions and their status as fundamental law. Some deal with specific constitutional provisions: they ask, for example,
which branches of government should have the authority to conduct foreign policy, or how the judiciary should be organized,
or what role a preamble should play in a nation's founding document. Other essays explore questions of constitutional design:
they consider the advantages of a federal system of government, or the challenges of designing a constitution for a pluralistic
society--or they ask what form of constitution best promotes personal liberty and economic prosperity"--

"This distinctive collection of original articles features contributions from many of the leading scholars of ancient Greek
philosophy. They explore the concept of reason and the method of analysis and the central role they play in the philosophies
of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. They engage with salient themes in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and political theory,
as well as tracing links between each thinker's ideas on selected topics"--Back cover

The first-ever multivolume treatment of the issues in legal philosophy and general jurisprudence, from both a theoretical
and a historical perspective. The work is aimed at jurists as well as legal and practical philosophers. Edited by the renowned
theorist Enrico Pattaro and his team, this book is a classical reference work that would be of great interest to legal and
practical philosophers as well as to jurists and legal scholar at all levels. The work is divided in two parts. The theoretical
part (published in 2005), consisting of five volumes, covers the main topics of the contemporary debate; the historical part,
consisting of six volumes (Volumes 6-8 published in 2007; Volumes 9 and 10, published in 2009; Volume 11 published in 2011
and Volume 12 forthcoming in 2015), accounts for the development of legal thought from ancient Greek times through the twentieth
century. The entire set will be completed with an index. Volume 6: A History of the Philosophy of Law from the Ancient Greeks
to the Scholastics 2nd revised edition, edited by Fred D. Miller, Jr. and Carrie-Ann Biondi Volume 6 is the first of the Treatise's
historical volumes (following the five theoretical ones) and is dedicated to the philosophers' philosophy of law from ancient
Greece to the 16th century. The volume thus begins with the dawning of legal philosophy in Greek and Roman philosophical thought
and then covers the birth and development of European medieval legal philosophy, the influence of Judaism and the Islamic
philosophers, the revival of Roman and Christian canon law, and the rise of scholastic philosophy in the late Middle Ages,
which paved the way for early-modern Western legal philosophy. This second, revised edition comes with an entirely new chapter
devoted to the later Scholastics (Chapter 14, by Annabel Brett) and an epilogue (by Carrie-Ann Biondi) on the legacy of ancient
and medieval thought for modern legal philosophy, as well as with updated references and indexes
